KHALIL,
Isis
(April 7, 1941-September 4, 2005)
Went to be with Our Lord after a courageous battle with cancer.
Isis was surrounded by her family and Friends when she passed
away at Sunnybrook Hospital. Beloved wife of Samir. Treasured
mother of son Yousri, and daughter Amira. Dear sister of Maher
SEDRA, Salwa
RAFLA, Tahany
FARAG, Sanaa
MIKAHAIL and Magdy
SEDRA.
Loving aunt to several nieces and nephews. Devoted friend to
many. Isis immigrated to Canada from Egypt in 1966. Shortly thereafter,
with her usual determination, her diligent studies enabled her
employment as a medical lab technologist at Sunnybrook Hospital.
Her 31 year career span at Sunnybrook was filled with dedication,
integrity, and personal and professional growth. She was a valued
and respected supervisor and colleague. Isis lived life to the
fullest with little time for sleep. She loved Canada dearly and
made use of all the opportunities it gave her to live a full
and rewarding life. Her refirement in 2000 allowed her more time
for personal pursuits such as travelling, volunteer work and
outdoor activities. Isis was an avid reader and had interests
in many areas, including Egyptology, history, politics, Egyptian
literature and short story writing. Her passion for Middle Eastern
costume creations and presentations was greatly appreciated in
many circles. She cherished her involvement at fund-raising events
and festivals at both Saint Mark's and Saint Mary's Coptic Orthodox
Churches, and Chapel Place Presbyterian Church. It was in the
Discipleship of Our Lord's work that Isis found greatest satisfaction.
We will all greatly miss her. Resting at Chapel Ridge Funeral
Home, 8911 Woodbine Ave., Markham (three lights north of Hwy.

Transit death leads police to second body
Detectives speculate store proprietor and companion died in murder-suicide
By Joe FRIESEN,
Saturday,February 19, 2005 - Page A16
A man and woman are dead after an apparent murder-suicide that
spanned the city's east and west ends.
The police investigation began shortly after 2 a.m. yesterday,
when a man was killed by a subway train at Donlands station.
Police said they traced the man to a corner store on Mimico Avenue
in Etobicoke where, two hours later, they discovered the body
of a female acquaintance of the man. They would not identify
the two people.
Police are trying to establish the nature of the relationship,
but residents of the quiet, working-class neighbourhood by the
lake say the store was run by Tanvir Ashraf
KHAN, known to his
customers as Tan.
Mr. KHAN's long-time companion was known as Shah.
Jill REED, who lives across the street from the store, said the
two were in their 40s and had been a couple for some time. There
was trouble in the relationship recently, however, and Shah left
Mr. KHAN for about a month around Christmas, Ms.
REED said.
"They were just nice, friendly people," Ms.
REED said. Like many
people, she shopped at the New Jersey Variety and Discount Store
for such things as cigarettes and milk. Mr.
KHAN always greeted
his customers with a smile, she said.
However, another neighbour, Gary David
BROWN, said he spoke to
Shah on the streetcar last week, and she told him that Mr.
KHAN
was "a little unstable."
At the time, Mr.
BROWN was explaining how he had had a falling
out with Mr.
KHAN nine months earlier.
Mr. BROWN had taken a special interest in the goings-on at his
local corner shop two years ago and had been advising Mr.
KHAN
on the business. He recommended that Mr.
KHAN branch out by establishing
a Western Union money-transfer service, as well as providing
fax and photocopy services and installing a pay telephone --
all of which turned out well for his store, Mr.
BROWN said.
But one day, when Mr.
BROWN wanted to send a fax, Mr.
KHAN reacted
angrily toward him, telling him not to wave the papers in front
of him. Mr.
BROWN was baffled, and left the store vowing not
to return. The two had barely spoken since.
"He was very reserved, but as soon as something went wrong, like
when he was having Internet problems with Western Union, it really
got his blood pressure up," Mr.
BROWN said. "He was easy-going
until something got on his nerves."
Mr. BROWN said Mr.
KHAN worked all hours of the day, from around
8 a.m. to 10 p.m., and was often spotted stepping outside the
shop for a cigarette. Shah, who Mr.
BROWN described as "the nicest
person you would ever want to meet," would often join Mr.
KHAN
at work.
The only problem Mr.
BROWN had been aware of at the store related
to the penny candy.
Children from the local school were stealing too much of it,
Mr. BROWN said, so Mr.
KHAN decided to get rid of it and sell
only chocolate bars.
Manvinder KAUR, who lives next door to the small residence --
attached to the store -- where Mr.
KHAN lived, said she saw him
late Thursday night.
He was putting out the garbage as usual, and said hello with
a big smile. The two often chatted because they shared a language,
she said.
Mr. KHAN was born in Pakistan. He took up the corner-shop business
in December, 2001. He rented the store for $725 a month, and
the attached residence for $325 a month.
The▼ property owners described Mr.
KHAN as likable and said he
always paid his rent on time.
"It's very sad news. We'd never believe that," said the owner,
who asked to remain anonymous.
"I don't know why he did this."
Postmortems will be performed today. The homicide squad has taken
over the investigation.

Namir▼Faiyaz▼
It is with the deepest regret and sorrow that we announce the
passing of Namir Faiyaz
KHAN, a brilliant teacher, writer and
actor who departed suddenly from this world on Sunday, July 10,
2005. He was born in the city of Allahabad, India on January
11, 1955 to Mumtaz Jahan
KHAN and Fayaz Bahadur
KHAN. He received
his Bachelor and Masters degrees in Political Science at Carleton
University in Ottawa. He was predeceased by his brother Nasir

KHAN of California, sisters Nazish
DHIR (née

KLYMKIW and many, many
others. Namir's professional and artistic achievements are incalculable.
As a writer he co-authored numerous published works including
the books 'Healthy Cities', 'Sustainable Production' and 'Healthy
Work'. He co-wrote the screenplay for the acclaimed feature film,
'Jack of Hearts' and served as a script editor and consultant
to numerous film professionals. Namir's love for cinema was matched
by his love for teaching at numerous universities and colleges
and most recently and prominently as a lecturer at the Centre
For Technology and Social Development in the Department of Mechanical
and Industrial Engineering at the University of Toronto where
hundreds of students received his passionate and learned lectures.
At the Centre Namir conducted extremely valuable research and
also served as the editor of the Bulletin of Science, Technology
and Society. Namir was also a prolific actor and appeared in
a number of legendary Canadian films including Roadkill, Highway
61, Dance Me Outside, Arrowhead and Jack of Hearts. Namir's life
will be celebrated Thursday, July 14, 9: 30 a.m. at the Toronto
Necropolis located at 200 Winchester Street in Toronto. Donations

Namir KHAN,
Lecturer (1955-2005)
University of Toronto teacher, film buff and some-time actor
who enjoyed performing in front of his classes nurtured a dark
secret
By Danny GALLAGHER,
Special to the Globe and Mail, Tuesday, October
4, 2005, Page S9
Toronto -- Namir
KHAN's life was a dichotomy. In his professional
domain, he was an eloquent, fiery orator, whose speeches roused
lecture rooms at the University of Toronto. In private, he was
a complex, bland man, who kept many secrets to himself.
"He had a brilliant flair for performing. It contrasted with
his private life of simplicity and frugality," said one of his
Friends, Greg
KLYMKIW.
Mr. KHAN's animated, note-less lectures puzzled the most hardened
of freshmen students in the U of T's engineering department.
These students were accustomed to no-nonsense, cold, hard facts
in math and science and wondered why Mr.
KHAN, who stood a mere
5-foot-1, sprinkled his lectures with environmental, political
and psychological perspectives. The one-time supporting-role
actor even interjected his love of cinema, literary and pop culture
into his talks.
"He loved performing strategically and that also fed him as a
lecturer," Mr.
KLYMKIW said. "Seventy five per cent of his speeches
had to do with movies. I watched Lawrence of Arabia with him
over 20 times. He saw it hundreds of times. Lawrence as a human
being was a complex person and there were parallels with Namir."
Mr. KHAN sought to make his lectures entertaining and many students
stick-handled to get into his classes. His chief intellectual
influences were German philosopher Martin Heidegger and French
sociologist Jacques Ellul.
He would start each day drinking a cup of Earl Grey tea and tackling
the cryptic crossword puzzle in The Globe and Mail. By midday,
he would have finished an academic treatise, with evenings devoted
to polishing off one or two mystery, science-fiction or historical
books.
Born in India, Namir
KHAN was 18 when he arrived in Canada. He
soon enrolled at Carleton University, graduating in 1979. He
got his master's in 1983 and then switched to the University
of Toronto to start work on his doctorate, which he never completed.
He became a teacher's assistant at the University of Toronto
in 1984, teaching social sciences and engineering courses before
joining the university's faculty of engineering full-time in
"He was such a large part of my mind and my vocabulary," said
Wendy DIX, one of his former girlfriends. "He was one of the
most creative intellectuals I've ever known. I was a bit of an
observer but he never condescended. He was probably the most
brilliant mind in the room, and where people were not as smart
or educated, he didn't exclude them."
Filmmaker Cynthia
ROBERTS, another former girlfriend, recalls
meeting him at Carleton University in 1981 when both were photography
buffs. She was toting around a large-format Mamiya camera, prompting
him to remark, "That's a big camera." He then asked her out on
a date.
For all the passion he produced in front of a classroom, Mr.
KHAN's real love was cinema. He not only watched movies frequently,
he played roles in a number of them. In 1989, Mr.
KHAN ran into
Queer as Folk director Bruce McDonald and soon found himself
cast as an undertaker in Highway 61. Later, Mr. McDonald used
him as a bartender in Dance Me Outside, as a photographer in
Elimination Dance and a cameraman in Roadkill. At Ms.
ROBERTS's
request, Mr.
KHAN wrote a screenplay for an underground production
called Jack of Hearts about a scientist involved with body implants.
One of his last acts in the movie business was a voice-over in
the 1997 film City of Dark.
By 1997, Mr.
KHAN had decided to cut back on the movie business
to spend more time teaching and to edit the U of T's Bulletin
of Science, Technology and Society.
A few years ago, Mr.
KHAN discovered he had Korsakoff's syndrome,
a brain disorder that stems from excessive alcohol use and is
usually coupled with poor eating habits. Although he was known
to be a binge drinker who loved rum and coke, the news astonished
his Friends. "He was the life of the party but he kept his close
Friends at bay," said his friend Arnd
JURGENSEN. "To find out
that he had a serious drinking problem was of considerable shock."
In Korsakoff's syndrome, prolonged alcohol causes growths on
the brain; eventually, Mr.
KHAN was forced to give up teaching.
As a lecturer who didn't take notes and relied strictly on memory,
the illness came as a severe blow. However, when told the problem
was reversible if he stopped drinking, and that he would be "good
as new" within six months, Mr.
KHAN refused to quit.
"He was very gifted but he drank himself to the grave," said
one of his university superiors.
Others did not know until near the end. "I never realized Namir
was so close to death," Ms.
DIX said.
Ironically, near the end of his life, Mr.
KHAN began working
on a screenplay that involved a detective who had developed Korsakoff's
syndrome.
Namir KHAN was born January 11, 1955, in Allahabad, India. He
died in Toronto on July 10, 2005. A coroner's report on the cause
of death proved inconclusive. He had been suffering for several
years from Korsakoff's syndrome. He is survived by brothers Nadir
and Nazir and sisters Nazish and Nigaf. He was predeceased by
his parents Faiyaz and Mumtaz Jahan
KHAN and a brother, Nasir.

It is with great sadness that the family of Beverly Jean
MOFFATT-
SCHAFFNER
(CROCKER) announces her death on February 15, 2005, in her 63rd
year. Bev faced her short but difficult battle with Inflammatory
Breast Cancer, the way she faced life - head on, with courage,
determination and pride - never thinking about herself, but worrying
about those around her. Bev always introduced herself as "an
extreme introvert", yet she managed to touch the hearts of everyone
she met. Bev leaves behind her life-partner of 11 1/2 years,
Sami, with whom she loved to explore the back roads of Ontario,
and spend weekends cross stitching and watching movies; her daughter,
Christine, her husband Christopher
BOAL, and their children Nicholas,
Ashley-Rose, and Anthony, who were Grandma's pride and joy; and
her daughter Susan, and her husband Marc DE
LEON and "The Munchkin,"
due August 23rd. Also left to mourn Bev are her mother-in-law
Dorothy MOFFATT; her chosen sister and brother-in-law Sue and
Bob NITTOLY, and her best friend Lisa
FAKHOURIE, both who cared
so lovingly for Bev; her feline babies Sweetums, Treya, Molly,
Merlin, Billy and
LilSpooks; her spiritual family at St. Dunstan
of Canterbury Anglican Church; and her former co-workers, family
and Friends. She is predeceased by her parents, Jean and Alfred
and her step-father Jack. The family would like to thank Drs.
Akbar KHAN, Arnold
TEPPERMAN, Michael
CHAN and Dina

the wonderful and supportive care they gave Bev throughout her
illness; her special nurse, Shawn, who visited daily and gently
tended to her needs; the Palliative Care team from Scarborough

NEWLAND whose visits were filled
with spirituality and humour; and "The Prayer Team", who encompassed
most the world and supported all of us through their prayers,
cards, phone calls and emails. A celebration of Bev's life will
be held at St. Dunstan of Canterbury Anglican Church (56 Lawson

We have lost a great light and voice, and although we are deeply
saddened by his passing, he will always remain with us as a loving
and generous spirit. Ivor passed away peacefully, in his 70th
year, surrounded by his loving family, in the early hours of

Family fears 2 drowned in accident
Police searching Lake Scugog
Men jumped from boat to aid relative
By Scott ROBERTS,
StaffReporter
It was supposed to be a simple family outing, a relaxing fishing
trip to celebrate the 31st birthday of Mohammad Asim
KHAN.
But the celebration turned into mourning on Monday when
KHAN
drowned in Lake Scugog, near Port Perry, while trying to save
his 25-year-old cousin.
Now, a Richmond Hill family is left to grieve the death of the
man they describe as caring and intelligent, as police continue
to search for the body of his 44-year-old uncle, Mohammad
ASHRAF,
who also leapt into the water in the same rescue effort and is
presumed drowned.
"Everyone is having a tough time dealing with it," said Rashed
MOHAMMAD, who worked with
KHAN at a local software company.
"He was too good and that's why I believe he lived too short."
About a dozen family members left shore about 2 p.m. Monday after
renting a 14-foot aluminum fishing boat and a larger pontoon
boat at the Port Perry Marina.
Just over two hours later, around 4: 20 p.m., police responded
to a 911 call indicating one man was unconscious and another
missing after jumping into the water to save Basit
KHAN, who
had drifted away from the boat after jumping in the lake. Neither
man was wearing a life jacket.
Basit KHAN, 25, was wearing a life jacket and survived the incident
with no injuries.
What began as a rescue mission by police late Monday became a
recovery effort yesterday in the search for
ASHRAF's body.
The Durham Regional Police marine unit sifted through the murky
water about 3 kilometres north of the Port Perry Marina as a
helicopter patrolled the scene from above.
Police suspended the search last night. It will resume today.
Relatives who witnessed the incident are still trying to understand
how the tragedy happened. They said both men knew how to swim.
Although Lake Scugog is shallow -- in most places ranging from
2 to 4 metres deep -- it is notoriously weedy and has deep pockets
of mud at its base, local residents said. Many speculate that
could have contributed to the deaths, although police would not
comment on the possibility last night.
Family members gathered at
KHAN's home in Richmond Hill yesterday,
remembering him as a loving father and husband who always tried
to help others.
"He never said 'no' to anyone," said friend Ayaz A.
AYAZ. "He
was always solving problems for people."
Mohammad Asim
KHAN, who moved here from Pakistan about four years
ago, leaves behind his wife, Sadaf
KHAN, and two children, Aleeza,
3, and Abdul Samad, who is 6 months old.
"He died trying to save someone's life without thinking of his
own," said Mohammad Imtiaz
KHAN, the uncle of the deceased. "He's
a hero to me."
Meanwhile,MohammadImtiazKHAN prays that a miracle might save
his brother-in-law, Ashraf, who moved to Canada just a year and
a half ago from Karachi, Pakistan.
"I am hoping that he's going to call anytime to say that he's
okay," he said.
The▲ visitation for Mohammad Asim
KHAN will take place today from
12: 45 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Islamic Foundation of Toronto,
441 Nugget Ave. in Scarborough.
KHAN's body will be flown on Friday to Pakistan, where he will
be buried.

Performance was gift of rock star of a prof
U of T academic talented speaker
Charismatic man mad about films
By Catherine
DUNPHY,
ObituaryWriter
Namir KHAN was such a performer -- not just in bit parts in the
films of his Friends Bruce McDonald and Peter Lynch, but also
in the classroom at University of Toronto where he taught engineering
students.
His first-year course about sustainable development, technology's
history and its role in creating a brave new environmentally
sensitive world was never popular with freshmen. Accustomed to
almost perfect papers in maths and sciences, they were suddenly
being asked by this tiny guy
(KHAN was 5 foot 1) with two degrees
in political science to think laterally, make connections and
put it all down in essay form.
But KHAN was a charismatic man, a rock star of a prof who used
to ride a motorcycle in a black leather jacket. More to the point
he was a gifted speaker, someone who could -- and did -- stand
in front of 250 students in Room 1105 in the engineering school's
Sandford Fleming Building and without notes integrate their world
with the thoughts of Martin Heidegger (his personal muse) along
with ideas from David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia (a film he'd
watched hundreds of times) and then throw in references to pop
culture, The Terminator and Toronto's bicycle paths.
He was a magus, pacing, gesticulating, his rich voice enveloping
his entranced students, who would then clamour to get into the
second- and third-year courses he also taught as a professor
for the school's Centre for Technology and Social Development
in the mechanical and industrial engineering department.
"He faced a bit of resistance from faculty and students. This
was a course that had a less than positive effect on a grade
point average," said his friend and teaching colleague Arnd
JURGENSEN.
"But he was brilliant, simply brilliant, and he had an amazing
ability to make complex arguments relevant and easily understood."
It helped that there were always a couple of students who would
approach him after class to tentatively ask if he was indeed
the undertaker in McDonald's Highway 61 or the East York landlord
in Lynch's Genie-winning short film, Arrowhead.
On Sunday, July 10, Friends found
KHAN dead in his Chinatown
apartment. He was 50. He had stopped teaching last fall after
being diagnosed with Korsakoff's syndrome, a brain disorder,
but there was no conclusive cause of death stated in the coroner's
report.
"He liked centre stage: in the movies, at lectures and at dinner
parties, where at some point we would all be listening to Namir
and enjoying every minute of it," said Wendy
DIX, a former girlfriend.
"He wore his knowledge lightly. He had fun with it."
"He would leave you charged," said his nephew Meraj
DHIR, who
is working on a doctorate in film at Harvard University in good
part because of his uncle's influence.
KHAN used to take
DHIR,
29, and his younger brother Eshwin to all sorts of movies, and
talk to them about the mise en scène, the historical underpinnings,
the narrative arc, the director's eye, the rhythm and pulse of
the piece.
Born and raised in India where he used to sneak out every Saturday
to watch movies,
KHAN was the youngest of six children. His Oxford
University-educated father, the minister of education for his
state, sent his children to Jesuit school and would often invite
Hindu and Jesuit priests to dinner to broaden his children's
education.
KHAN came to Canada when he was 18 and a year later enrolled
at Carleton University for his undergraduate and master's degrees.
That's where Toronto filmmaker Cynthia
ROBERTS met him 25 years
ago.
"Namir introduced me to great movies," she said. He took her
to see Apocalypse Now on their first date.
In 1989 she introduced him to director Bruce McDonald. The two
hit it off and McDonald hired
KHAN on the spot to play a cinematographer
in a movie. It wasn't a stretch for the movie-mad academic. Soon
he became part of McDonald's regular coterie, playing the undertaker
in Highway 61, a bartender in Dance Me Outside and a photographer
in Elimination Dance.
In 1990 ROBERTS encouraged
KHAN to write a screenplay with her
three years later Jack of Hearts was produced. His last official
credit occurred in 1997 when he did a voiceover in a film Called
City of Dark, after which he recommitted himself to his academic
work. He co-authored the books Healthy Cities, Sustainable Production
and Healthy Work. He also edited the Bulletin of Science, Technology
and Society.
But he was as passionate as ever about movies at the time of
his death. He was working on a screenplay and developing a mystery
featuring a sleuth with Korsakoff's syndrome.
In his eulogy,
DHIR said that had
KHAN had time to complete any
of those projects, he was convinced his uncle would have become
a "nobel laureate for literature, or an Academy Award-winning
screenplay writer, an internationally renowned celebrity professor,
or a perennial inhabitant of The New York Times bestseller list."
Perhaps, but in the meantime, his true art was in his performances:
the ones he gave to his students, his family and, always, his
Friends.

Toronto cabbie had 'huge' heart
Tariq KHAN, 40, died in a helicopter mishap while delivering
aid to earthquake victims in his native Pakistan
By Isabel TEOTONIO,
StaffReporter
As the aid workers prepared for liftoff, Tariq
KHAN watched with
horror as a throng of villagers rushed toward the helicopter.
There were hundreds of people clambering atop overturned earth
and scattered debris. And with each hastening step and deafening
spin of the main rotor, his fears mounted, fellow workers recalled.
The villagers were simple folk from remote communities nestled
deep in the mountainous folds of northern Pakistan who might
not understand the dangers of getting close.
KHAN jumped out of the helicopter's cabin. He inched his way
along the wall of people surrounding the helicopter, gently pushing
them back and trying to create a safe distance so the helicopter
could lift off and pick up more supplies for the earthquake victims.
As he tried to keep one person from getting perilously close,
he turned suddenly and, not realizing the helicopter was on sloping
ground with its tail much lower than usual, took a few fateful
steps into its rotating blades.
In a split second, the 40-year-old was dead -- a tragic end to
a life dedicated to helping others, even in his final moments.
KHAN, a Beck Taxi driver living in Toronto, had returned home
to his native Pakistan to be with his dying mother. After her
funeral, he remained to choose a bride and was preparing for
his wedding when the October 8 earthquake struck.
The powerful quake, which has claimed more than 87,000 lives,
measured 7.6 on the Richter scale. Immediately, he sprang into
action and joined a relief team.
"This is the biggest example of how huge his heart was," long-time
friend Asad
FARID said about the accident that claimed
KHAN's
life on October 16. "He had such a kind heart.... It was his
caring personality that took him back to Pakistan.
"This is a big tragedy,"
FARID said in an interview from his
Toronto home. "He was the oldest son and the sole provider for
his family. Now what will they do?"
KHAN immigrated to Canada around 1997, searching for a job that
would support the large family he left back in his hometown,
Bannu.
As the only breadwinner for a household that included elderly
parents, three unmarried sisters and three younger brothers,
all students,
KHAN figured he'd have no problem landing an agricultural
job in Canada. After all, he had a master's degree in agriculture
and had worked in Pakistan for seven years as a deputy director
of water management.
Unable to find work in his field, he did a number of odd jobs
in Toronto, including brief stints at an electronics and video
store, as a security guard and, most recently, as a cab driver.
Anwaar HAQ, a Royal Taxi driver who was once
KHAN's roommate,
said he'll never forget
KHAN's "always smiling face" and selfless
nature.
When the blackout occurred two years ago in Toronto, he said,
KHAN stopped his cab to direct traffic.
"Everybody else was making money and there he was directing traffic,
just happy to be able to help."
KHAN's devotion to supporting his family back home was such that
for many years he quelled all thoughts of marriage, focusing
solely on work. He did, however, find time to volunteer as an
auxiliary member of the Toronto Police Service from 2002 to 2004,
working primarily on crime prevention and community outreach.
In February, his mother became ill and
KHAN immediately returned
home to Pakistan. Uncertain about how long he'd be there and
itching to work with a non-government organization, he joined
the Sungi Development Foundation in April.
Hired as a team leader, he worked with marginalized communities
to develop sustainable programs in northern Pakistan.
Co-worker Nazia
HAMEED recalled
KHAN's efforts in promoting the
status of women. Against the odds, he persuaded the men of three
villages to let women participate in a project where they would
be trained in crafts -- a skill that could generate income. It's
significant to note,
HAMEED said, it was the first time in six
years the women had participated in an activity outside their
villages.
After KHAN's mother died in July, he remained in search of a
wife, whom he planned to return with to Canada. With a bride
chosen and a wedding date set for November 5, he took October
off from working with Sungi to plan the celebration.
But when news arrived that many of the communities he had worked
with had disappeared beneath landslides or been reduced to rubble,
nothing could keep him from joining Sungi's relief operations
not even his family's disapproval.
"His spirit and dedication have encouraged everyone to do more,"
said Sungi executive director Samina
KHAN, who described him
as a "tireless social worker."
"Right to the end of his life, he was dedicated to helping others."
